Cleaning out boxes in the garage can be a good thing. Good when you come across a poem that you clearly remember once writing, ever so long ago. The irony of it is that I think I could write these words again today about 35 years later

Before you, retreat with sadnessTell me what is troubling you Don’t assume that I won’t listenRest assured I surely will I am ready, to be your shoulderUnderstand, I’ll do my best It’s out of love I’m here for youSeek your solace, so you can rest Have faith in me, please don’t turn coldTrust in me, your heart of gold

Extend your soul from its deepest selfMeeting sorrow while not fearing painPlace your feet in their shoes of sadness,Accepting tears as moments, of emotional rainTire your ears as you unscramble wordsHearing truly, just with your heartYou’ll reach the threshold of empathy, if you’re willing to give it a shot
